In chapter six Alice reaches the Duchess's house and attempts to befriend her.The Duchess is given an invitation to play croquet with the Queen. The Duchess is rude, but does not seem to make enemies with Alice, and once the Duchess must leave, she leaves her Pig "baby" with Alice. Alice meets the Cheshire cat and has a friendly conversation with him. Surprisingly, Alice did not make enemies in this chapter, and she is hopefully beginning to gain some creatures in which she can befriend rather than make enemies. The story has a different logic than what most of us would use today, so it makes the story a little difficult to understand.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
During the fifth chapter of Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice meets a caterpillar. The Caterpillar seems to be more friendly than most of Alice's other encounters with other residents of "Wonderland", although there was good reason for the other animals to not be friendly to Alice, for she has been telling each of them about her cat Dinah, who could easily eat them all. Alice wants to reach the garden she found in the beginning of the story, and in order to do that she must regain her normal size. Luckily for Alice, the Caterpillar tells her how to do that, but she has some difficulties and makes another enemy with a pigeon. Alice has made more enemies than friends which I hope does not cause her troubles in the end of the book. At the end of chapter 5 she regains normal size.

Here is my correction post:
ReplyDeleteIn the fifth chapter, the part that had the most meaning to me, was when the caterpillar had asked Alice who she was, and she did not know who she was, she was surprised by the question and did not know how to answer.
In the sixth chapter, I had noticed that when the Cheshire cat and Alice spoke, near the end of the chapter, Alice was asking the cat for directions, but all he told her was that no matter which way she went, she would end up somewhere, with him saying that, I have a feeling it is her thinking about how no matter what she does she will end up going one way that will lead her where ever she wants to go.
